[OOC] Code Geass - War For the Homeland

[vancexentan]

@Jangel13I would have no problem with that but I'm wondering how much life this roleplay has left in it as of late no one's been posting in the ooc actively, and no one has attempted to come up with plot plans.

[Jangel13]

Well I can't really help with people being active but I am very good with story. Where did you guys leave off?

[vancexentan]

@Jangel13currently we're just at the very start of the first mission. We're here to hijack a weapons shipment or destroy it. otherwise we're in charge of assassinating the commanding officer of the base the shipment is arriving at. secondary objective is destruction of the base and it's knightmare frames.

[Jangel13]

Okay classic kind of mission destroy supplies for the opposing side and get rid of the commander in charge. So tell me about us and by that I been our rebellion movement. If this is our first mission then that means we have no real brand recognition and nobody has gained the Geass power, am I correct?

[vancexentan]

@Jangel13 We're a faction of the black knights led by former and still legendary General Sho of the Japanese Army. After lelouch lost the first black rebellion the black knights split up into multiple factions Sho is the largest due to his alliance with the E.U. The majority of our members are E.U. soldiers. We are recognizable simply by being part of two large terrorist, and military organizations. The EU Members are W-1 a faction led by Jack Blake from Ireland. This is not our literal first mission in story and we're just disrupting Britannian military support.

[Jangel13]

Well if that's the case then what if we throw in a wild card? This isn't the first mission so obviously we would think this routine however we have something unexpected happen. For example it could really be a trap where the enemy instead expected us to come and wanted to test a new nightmare frame.

If you want to be more subtle you could have the commander be related to someone of high birth from Britannia thus in the long run giving someone an ax to grind against us. From what I remembered code Geass was all about betrayal and revenge from one person's point of view or another's.

If that doesn't work we could go a bit extreme and say that along with the fact you destroyed the base you could have many of the workers be Japanese thus making it harder for you to gain the people in the future.

How are those?

[vancexentan]

That's a no go. Sho's got a thorough background check thing going on with his spy division and a spy working in the base already. He'd have known that otherwise he'd had come up with a different plan. Having them know about this will end up getting all of the four characters in the base killed, and botch the landing party that's set up. The commander is known for his anti-japanese rhetoric and is popular among britannian pure blood nobles but hardly that big in the food chain of things.

[Jangel13]

Hmm well you certainly didn't leave much room to make surprises, still I can come up with something.

Okay what if instead their attack gets publicized and a character ends up being seen out of their nightmare. This would then lead to heat from Britannia and could give rise to Japanese moral thus setting the ground work for a larger battle.

Or you could have a character discover a geass and yes I know it seems a bit early and tacked on but still don't fix what's not broken. Although you could have an enemy have the ability thus forcing something to go terribly wrong.

I can come up with more ideas but they would need to be after this mission because you have already fleshed thus out to a complete mission. If it was more vague or open to unexpected I could give better ideas.

[vancexentan]

I purposely made this mission simple just so everyone can get into character, and see where the spots fit before moving onto more complicated missions. There's not suppose to be much surprise in this opening.

[Jangel13]

Fair point just flesh out everyone's role before getting to the big stuff. Still I want to join and I'll help out when I can

[IceHeart]

Well I'm a little busy with running my own roleplay. Also it doesn't make much sense for my character to go off on her own yet until she is sure the primary objective can be completed. Her hands are a bit tied at the moment until further into the mission and as an eleven undercover infiltration isn't exactly her forte.

[vancexentan]

@IceHeartForgive me if I'm wrong but didn't Sho order both for the Russian girl, and your character to work together and then split up? If so I'll edit my own post sometime tomorrow possibly to fix it.

Name: Shiba Akabane

Nicknames: Songbird

Age: 19

Gender: Male

Social Status: An Eleven

Appearance: Except he has black hair and green eyes and stands tall at 6 feet.

Personality: Shiba is known to be two faced to people. He is usually kind and tries to connect with others through his music which he feels can touch anyones heart. He is a hard worker when he needs to be but he usually puts most of his energy into creating great music for him to play for his fellow Elevens. Shiba feels that a good song can truly change a person whether by making them feel more motivated or making them feel happy to songs that will depress and demoralize them. To Shiba their is a song piece for any and all occasions.

His second personality is the one that few very people have seen or have even heard about. Shiba is a dark person who feels that the world is screwed up beyond all reason he uses his music to also try and make the Britannia's see that they are going to be challenged. He sees everyone that does nothing to change the status quote as lazy parasites simply hanging onto the small shred of life they have if it could even be called that. Shiba kept playing his music until he found that the only way to make his dream come true is to get rid of the Britannia's and their unjust social hierarchy.

Biography/History: Shiba was born in an eleven slum after the war. He lived in a sad and depressing home and when he was growing up he watched as his dad worked harder then any other person in the plant while his mother always had a smile trying to make their lives a little less bleak but Shiba already knew it, they were dirt poor and their lives could stay that way for good. He didn't want to be an Honorary Britanian it was like he would be begging to join a world that didn't want him in the first place. Shiba was down and he felt that his life was meaningless until one day he heard music coming from an alleyway while walking home one day and he saw a group of musicians playing. What surprised him the most was that the people listening to them actually looked happy.

He stayed and listened to the entire song and when the musicians were about to leave Shiba went over and asked how they could be happy here and how could they play music in some place as horrible as here. The leader had a sad smile as he leaned down and told Shiba that it was because the place was horrible that they needed to play and that music can make the world change. From that day on Shiba was on a mission to become a musician and become a great composer. He searched wherever he could looking for anything that could be useful and he found a battered violin it took a good year before Shiba had it in working order at least to the point that he could start playing. Shiba practiced everyday since he was 10 and even still he is playing his songs to become better.

However when he was 17 the Britanians came and performed a raid for terrorist and unfortunately because of his fathers position in a recent terrorist attack on the manufacturing plant he was a suspect they didn't question him because he was shot and then he was insulted for being a dirty eleven. Shiba always bit his tongue when he saw something bad but after seeing his father unjustly accused he couldn't stand it anymore and he joined up with the rebellion wanting to take down the Britannian's for good.

Goals: To have his music heard by the entire world.

Skill Set: Musician/tactician

===

Knightmare Frame: The only thing unique about his Kightmare frame is its paint job which is dark blue and on the shoulder joints hold two different musical notes, notes which change depending on how he feels.

Name of Knightmare: "blue note"

Weapons and Operational Systems of Knightmare:

*Ejection system
*Long range sniper rifle

Armament: Nothing that isn't found in a standard nightmare frame

Knightmare Generation: 2nd generation knightmare frame

===

Other: For things I may have missed and you want to add in

[Jangel13]

hope that's okay. I am not going to be a knightmare pilot so I didn't really know what was considered standard.

[vancexentan]

Knightmare frame pilots get a lot of action while the other guys get technical jobs which are, in my opinion, considerably less fun to play but we'll see if it works.

[Jangel13]

So am I approved or do I need to make changes?

[vancexentan]

Well I can't approve a non-existent character sheet but if you want to make one despite my warnings of this rp possibly dying than you may so do.

[Jangel13]

I thought I just did, I posted him up already

[vancexentan]

@Jangel13Derp. Alright my apologizes but first give me a bit before posting right again immediately I normally hit the arrow button on the subscription box and it sends me directly to the last post. But it looks fine to me so I'll allow it.

[Jangel13]

Alright good to know I'll move him to the cs tab so where should my character be?
